Prime95, Small FFTs, 2 workers = 100c on Core 2 Duo?!

Seems a tad high, & I'm using the 95w heat-pipe optioned cooler..

(Dell Optiplex 745, Core 2 Duo, E6400 2.13MHz. 8gb ram, 305w PSU.

Are the fans working?

Any of them?

Also give it a good dusting if you haven't already.

hamlet_jones · Nov 27, 2018

Yes, cpu & case fan working, loud. Well dusted.

Did you correctly apply thermal paste between the cooler and cpu?

The cpu is only a 65 watt so it should not take much cooling.

Yes. But in checking, I discovered the bail arm wasn't locked in place, so I only had contact on the edge of the cpu. All good now.
